Today I came home from work to find my Midas Blenny dead. I did not see any signs of disease or telltale signs of being bullied or attacked. Big bummer. All of my other fish seem fine and healthy and coral is doing well. My water tests normal as well. Anyways I am trying to decide if and what I am going to replace him with. Might just leave the tank as is. Either way if I add another fish it won't be for a while. I want to make sure everything is fine in my tank. So let's hear what you think a good new addition would be. I currently have 2 clownfish, Green Clown Goby, and a 6-line Wrasse ( I know he is going to be the problem). I have a 29g Biocube so needs to stay small and not be a coral nipper.
 
My tank usually runs about 79 degrees. My understanding is the blue spotted jawfish prefers cooler water. I have always wanted one just never thought it would thrive in my tank so chose to skip it.
 
I'm thinking about taking my sixline out of the tank for a while until the new fish acclimates and reintroducing the 6- line later.

If you can catch that sixline, do yourself a favor and don't put him back in. ;) Will save you a lot of headaches down the road.
 
I can't. I love my 6-line. I know he can become a terror though.
